Eggs outside cost seven cents per pound, but here they cost one dollar and fifty cents per pound.
The profit is big enough, so there is no need to tamper with the weight, otherwise it will only anger the world and the people.
The reputation of this black market shop is obvious, so even if people complain that the products are too expensive, they are free to buy and sell, and they will not force people to buy or sell, and will not cheat on the weight.
To be honest, this side is still fair.
After buying all these, Su Lujun looked at other things. However, the last time she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wine and milk candy for her mother's family, she also bought some dried shrimps and kelp there.
I have bought soy sauce and salt, and as for brown sugar, I still have some stock at home, so I don't need to buy more.
After looking around, he asked Chen Aihong, "Mom, do you want to buy anything?"
Chen Aihong said, "No." They ate from the old people's family and didn't need to buy any more.
Su Lujun came back with her.
Four pounds of eggs cost me ten dollars, three pounds of fat meat cost me nine dollars, and two pounds of peanut oil cost me five dollars, so a total of twenty dollars was spent.
This made Su Lujun feel a little emotional. Although prices were not low in this era, the corresponding wages were also low. Zhou Changdong's living allowance of 30 yuan a month was not enough to spend.
"Is there not enough money?" asked Chen Aihong.
"Enough." Su Lujun smiled and said, "Three catties of lard and two catties of peanut oil are enough for a long time. There are also eggs. I don't think I will need to buy any more for the next half month."
Chen Aihong didn't say much, but when she got home, she took out fifty yuan.
Su Lujun was stunned for a moment, "Mom..."
"Here." Chen Aihong stuffed it into her hand. "Spend it when you need to. Don't save it."
Su Lujun was moved, but still shook her head firmly and pushed it back, "I don't want it, I have money of my own." Before Zhou Changdong woke up, she would not accept a single penny from her parents-in-law.
Chen Aihong was very smart. She immediately knew what her daughter-in-law meant and said, "We all know what you mean. Don't think too much!"
She saw the affection her daughter-in-law had for her son.
Su Lujun still insisted and shook her head, "I have money, don't worry, Mom. If I really spend it all, I won't force myself and I will definitely ask for it."
Chen Aihong nodded, "Okay."
She was not in a hurry to go back, so she came over to give a massage to her son Zhou Changdong. Seeing that the weather was good today, Su Lujun started to take apart and wash the quilts.
She had four quilts, two weighing one pound and two weighing four pounds, all of which were dowry from her parents.
Although my yard is big enough, I definitely can't wash everything at once.
Come on, two by two.
Put the cotton core in the yard to dry, beat the quilt with a stick, and when it’s time to wring it dry, you have to ask your mother-in-law to come out and help, one end for each person.
By the time she hung the quilt on the rope, Su Lujun felt her hands were sore.
This is also what makes Su Lujun miss the existence of washing machines so much.
But that’s not cheap, and she doesn’t have the money to buy it right now. She’ll wait until Zhou Changdong wakes up and ask him to wash it!
In fact, Zhou Changdong did all the washing, including rubbing the soaked sheets and special mats early in the morning.
That's all she can do for now.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed and the weather had indeed started to get colder, Su Lujun not only started to take apart and wash the quilts and bedding, but also took out the winter clothes and boots to wash.
Not only hers, but also the winter clothes that Zhou Changdong brought back.
Although there are not many, they are all work.
So, when Wang Guifen finally had time to bring over the clothes she had altered for her daughter and the cotton-padded jacket she had folded for her son-in-law, Su Lujun felt as if her arms were not her own.
